Drake Bell, former Nickelodeon child star, has been declared missing in action and “endangered” by Daytona Beach Police.
The department took to Facebook this Thursday morning to release information about Bell’s (legally named Jared Bell) last seen whereabouts.
Text “RICKEY” to 71007 to join the Rickey Smiley Morning Show mobile club for exclusive news. (Terms and conditions).
“He should be traveling in a 2022 grey BMW and his last known location is potentially the area of Mainland High School on 4/12/2023 just before 9p.m. He is considered missing and endangered,” Daytona Beach Police Department posted.
Much like countless other television child actors, Drake’s hardships seemed to increasingly worsen since his most well-known role on Drake & Josh ended in 2007. Bell recently finished his two-year probation over a case involving attempted child endangerment and disseminating matter harmful to juvenile (to which he plead guilty). More of his public scandals involve an alleged domestic violence situation, a DUI, and inappropriate club conduct accusations.
